You're using C++ Mode, right?

In essence, yes. Instead of typing '//', use M-; (that is, press the
semicolon key whilst holding the Meta key (probably the <alt> or <window>
key). This will then insert the '//' at comment-column, which is by
default 32. (if there's room on the line, that is. If you've already
got a long statement on the line, M-; does the Right Thing). You can
also use M-; to tidy up existing comments which have got ragged.
If you really, truly, absolutely want your comments at column 30 and not
32, change the value of comment-column in your C++ Mode hook. If your
reaction to that is "My WHAT??", then the C++ Mode hook is that bit of
code, written by you, which gets executed each time a C++ buffer is
loaded. Put the following into your .emacs:
(defun my-c++-mode-hook ()
(setq comment-column 30))
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'my-c++-mode-hook)
Hook functions (like my-c++-mode-hook) typically contain personal
settings for indentation style, tab width, and so on. You can read all
about this in the CC Mode manual: C-h i, select CC Mode, then select the
page "Sample .emacs File".

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
